J is for Jump, and other updates

I wanted to go over two and a half updates that I have not yet written about in the new UI: jumping, autosave, and collaborative editing.

Jumping

Autosave

"Collaborative" Editing Alpha

First is what I'm calling jumping. Easily jump to dates and events in the timeline by pressing j (when the editor isn't focused (press Esc to unfocus the editor)). Type in a date, date range, or something like tomorrow or next week to jump to that date.

Basic search for events is also supported, so you can search for an event and jump to it, optionally zooming and opening its details in the process.

Thanks to mlebrun and Kevin-Hamilton for the suggestion!

The other thing is autosave. If you are working on a local draft or cloud markwhen, your document will be saved automatically for you. It's kind of in the name I guess. Anyway this brings markwhen.com up to date with software of 20 years ago. Note that this also works for files, but only on chromium-based browsers .
